Marta Ostrowska - “Profesjonalizm 100%”
Profesjonalizm 100% – the way Marta described herself on Facebook. Maybe not quite 100% Marta.
Marta Ostrowska was the Legia Warsaw administrator who made the mistake of including Bartosz Bereszynski, their suspended player in the squad at Murrayfield, having not registered him against St Pats in the previous round or in the first leg against Celtic in Warsaw. As a result of this mistake Marta was fired by Legia Warsaw.
Marta made a mistake – no doubt about that. But where were the systems in place at Legia Warsaw to prevent such a catastrophic error occurring with a potential loss to their club running into tens of millions of euros?
The Legia Warsaw directors, who were busy shouting and bad mouthing Celtic in the aftermath of their elimination from the Champions League qualifiers, should perhaps have looked at themselves. Their systems failed.
Dariusz Mioduski, the chairman of Legia Warsaw, should have looked at his own failings. It was very easy to blame Celtic (who did nothing wrong), blame UEFA (who simply applied the rules) and then blame a member of staff who took up the post in 2013.
The reason Legia Warsaw were eliminated from the Champions League Qualifiers in 2014 was down to Mioduski and his board – not Celtic, UEFA or even the unfortunate Ms Ostrowska (pictured below).
To be fair to Dariusz Mioduski put the dispute between his club and Celtic “behind him” a few months after the controversy and admitted that he was looking forward to working with the then Celtic chief executive Peter Lawwell in the future.
Hopefully come 20 July the Legia support will be in the same frame of mind and concentrate on paying a massive collective tribute to the Holy Goalie Artur Boruc.
